Altiris Altiris® Streamlines Backup and Recovery Features of Client Recovery Solution™ by Minimizing End-User Involvement and Creating Greater IT Management Efficiencies Client Recovery Solution now localized in French and German languages December 16, 2002 - Altiris Inc. (Nasdaq: ATRS), a leader in systems management solutions that reduce the total cost of owning information technology, today announced new data backup and recovery features of Altiris® Client Recovery Solution™ designed to provide more efficient processes for IT management in addition to making workstation backup invisible to the end user. This release now also includes French and German localized versions. New features of Client Recovery Solution improve the end user experience while simplifying backup and recovery management for IT administrators. A few highlights include: Backup check point recovery restarts an interrupted backup at the exact same place as when the connection was lost. Users on both network and dial-up connections can save time and optimize bandwidth with backup check point recovery. Snapshot wake-on-LAN allows IT administrators to schedule off-hour backup snapshots regardless of whether the computer is on or off. Administrators can now schedule backup snapshots to run after hours during low network usage to further enhance efficiencies. Silent snapshots are invisible to the end user. Previously, a dialog window appeared on a user’s computer screen while the snapshot ran requiring the dialog to be minimized. Administrators can now set policies to run silent snapshots to backup workstations while maintaining uninterrupted work flow for end users. Kevan Dickinson, a network administrator for Oxford Natural Products plc, a United Kingdom-based pharmaceutical company, uses Client Recovery Solution to backup vulnerable mobile workstation files. Dickinson said, “With about 50 percent notebook users, a backup strategy for user files is essential. With Client Recovery Solution we can backup and recover files easily over a VPN connection to our network. An added bonus of Client Recovery Solution is its ability to easily move users’ personal files and preferences to a new PC.” Poul Nielsen, Altiris VP of product strategy, said, “Presently about 20 percent of enterprise computers are laptops but we have seen projections that new workstations in the enterprise will increase to 60 percent laptops or notebooks by 2007. The risk of data loss or theft proliferates with the increased use of mobile workstations. Client Recovery Solution simplifies the data backup and restoration process for both IT administrators as well as end users with notebooks or desktops.” This new update of Client Recovery Solution will be localized in French and German. In addition to the client user interface, the user guide, release notes and client related help files will be localized for easier use by European customers like ACNielsen. Ditmar Klausmann of ProAct Datasystems AG, said, “As a provider of services infrastructure for data storage, data backup and restoration, and disaster recovery for companies throughout Switzerland, we were excited to see that the Client Recovery Solution technology has been rapidly developed and integrated into the Altiris infrastructure after being acquired from Previo. We expect the French and German localization of Client Recovery Solution to be warmly welcomed by our customers.” Licensing and availability Altiris Client Recovery Solution 5.1, including French and German language versions, are expected to be available later this month. Client Recovery Solution can be purchased for $70 (U.S.) per node when purchasing ten – 99 nodes. Volume discounts are available.
